Second Guessing Pokémon Red & Blue

Pokémon Worlds has announced sign-ups to enter a lottery to purchase tickets for the event in Anaheim. Tickets went up in cost and now have new limits. Pokémon TCG Pocket plans to remove trade tokens completely later this year. Claude Plays Pokémon shows us how Pokémon Red & Blue can be used as benchmarks for silly ideas and also makes us second guess what we remember about those games. The Scopely deal for Pokémon GO actually goes through and we readdress the future of this game.  00:00:00-Introduction 00:02:30-Pokémon Worlds Tickets00:16:00-Removal of Trade Tokens00:36:35-Claude Plays Pokémon01:15:10-Scopely Takes Over Pokémon GO02:06:15-Post Credits   LINKS🌐 www.pkmncast.com👾 www.twitch.tv/pkmncast📸 www.instagram.com/pkmncast📝 www.reddit.com/r/supereffective🐦 www.twitter.com/pkmncast🎥 www.youtube.com/pkmncast📀 www.tiktok.com/@pkmncast💰 Support on PatreonEPISODE CREDITSHosted, edited, and produced by Steve SarumiTheme songs and segment jingles by Nicholas Burgess Ad music comes from Evanto Elements Podcast artwork by Steve SarumiSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The $87,000 Cheetozard

Cresselia soon arrives to Pokémon Sleep and we get Munna as we get closer to that event. Honda makes a Koraidon, but you cannot sit on it. Pokémon GO Global Unova Tour makes as much money as Global Hoenn Tour through app-store purchases, but most likely more due to web-store purchases. The Lucky Trinket had weird limits. We talk about the $87,000 Cheetozard and how Pokémon stuff is really weird. More Triumphant Light talk. 00:00:00-Introduction 00:02:40-Pokémon Sleep News00:12:15-Honda's Koraidon00:30:20-The Lucky Trinket00:46:55-Global Unova Tour01:04:30-The $87,000 Cheetozard01:12:25-Triumphant Light01:36:00-Post Credits   LINKS🌐 www.pkmncast.com👾 www.twitch.tv/pkmncast📸 www.instagram.com/pkmncast📝 www.reddit.com/r/supereffective🐦 www.twitter.com/pkmncast🎥 www.youtube.com/pkmncast📀 www.tiktok.com/@pkmncast💰 Support on PatreonEPISODE CREDITSHosted, edited, and produced by Steve SarumiTheme songs and segment jingles by Nicholas Burgess Ad music comes from Evanto Elements Podcast artwork by Steve SarumiSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
